It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jennifer Sue Copley (nee Collins) on September 23, 2025.
Jennifer was a cherished mother to her son Lucas (Stephanie) and daughter Jima (Dr Ian) Gansler, who held her love deep within their hearts. As a sister, she brought joy to her siblings, Curt Collins, Penny Collins, Kim Smith, Cindy Stamper, and Zula Collins, and was a beloved Memaw to her numerous grandchildren, each of whom were blessed to experience her kindness and warmth.
She was preceded in death by her devoted husband Greg Copley and her beloved parents, Carmon and Brenda Collins, whose memories will forever live on in the lives she touched.
Jennifer dedicated her days as a paralegal for many law firms, where her commitment and compassion left a lasting impact on those she worked with.
A true lover of nature, Jennifer found joy in her vibrant garden, where she tended to an array of colorful blooms each season. Her appreciation for the outdoors was evident in her love for the beach, where she would bask in the warm sun or watch breathtaking sunsets embrace the horizon. Among her many interests, playing pool stood out; she confidently played in a league, often showing her skills by winning most games, making every match a cherished memory.
Yet, perhaps Jennifer's greatest passion was her family. She had an incredible talent for weaving together past and present, sharing treasured stories that strengthened family bonds through laughter and love. The beautiful memories they created together will now be shared for generations to come, serving as a lasting testament to her devotion.
Family meant everything to Jennifer, and her legacy of love will continue to illuminate their lives. Though she has departed, everyone fortunate enough to have known her will carry a piece of her spirit within their hearts, forever enriched by the memories they created together.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to be made to The Warren County Animal Shelter or your nearest SPCA, honoring Jennifer’s love for animals and her desire to help those in need.
